MORRIS BORSODI, OF SCRANTON,

KLEINMANN, OF BRO PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO LEO OKLYN, NEWYORK.

\NATERJ-IEATER.

Specification of Application filed August 28,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Mourns Bonsoni, a citizenof the United States, anda resident of Scranton, in the county ofLackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain newanduseful WVater-Heater, of

others skilled in the art to which it apper- This invention relates toappliances whereby water may be heated,,or converted into steam, in avery short space of time, and it has for itsv object the provision of anapparatus of the'kind set forth, simple in construction, inexpensive tomanufacture, and which operates efficiently in practical use.

To attain the desired end, this, my invention, consists irf theconstruction, arrangement and operation of parts herein set forth.

. In order to enable the invention to be fully understood, I shallproceed to explain the same by reference to the drawings which accompanyand form a part of this specifica tion, in which- Figure 1 is a frontelevation of an apparatus constructed according to my invention, Fig. 2is a side elevation bf the same, Fig. 3 1s a plan View thereof, and Fig.t is a View in detail showing a transverse section of my heatingchamber.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring particularly by reference characters to the drawings, A, Arepresent my double metal casing forming a water jacket and reservoir ofmy heating apparatus, which is fed by means of the water supply pipe B,intermediate of which is located my supply cylinder C, provided with apiston rod (Z having a series of piston heads. When the water is turnedon so as to flow through the pipe '13 it serves to raise the piston rodd a sufficient distance to put the said cylinder into operativeconnection with the gas and water supply pipes, and to allow the fluidto pass through the port 6 located at the lower part, of the cylinder toand through the port 5 of the casing A, A, and thereby charge the waterjacket.

A gas supply pipe E is connected with the upper portion of the cylinderC, which is also connected by the pipe E- with the Letters PatentPatented Mar. 19, 191.2.

burner tube G: which extends into the easin A, A, and is provided withburners, preferably ofthe Bunsentype. Upon the piston rod (Z beingraised, the gas will enter through the port 0 into the cylinder andthence through the port 6 into the pipe E, and thence to the burner tubeG". From the gas pipe at gas pilot tube e is led'int-o the chamberforming the interior of the easing A, A, so as to be positioned a shortdistance above the burner tube (l and afford a -I-1l0t light which maybe kept burning continuously. From the water jacket, a pipe F leads tomy heating chamber G, G forn'ied of a pair of plates which are kept avery separator strips g, placed at the edges there-' of, andintermediate strips g" which are preferably made shorter in order toallow a free flow of water therethrough. These heating chambers areordinarily made so that in conformation each pair of chambers will be ofV-shape, the plates G, G being preferably corrugated so as to be morereadily heated;

From the various heating chambers, whichcommunicate with each other, thehot water is ordinarily led by a pipe F to a motor H, provided withblades or paddles h, in form resembling an overshot wheel, and having anoutlet H larger than the size of the stream passing thereout, fromwhence the water is taken to be used by the pipe H located on a levelwith the outlet H. The water falling on the paddles below the pipe 1 1will serve to rotate the wheel H, and the air thereby drawn in bysuction through suitable inlets h in the motor casing will pass to theopposite empty side of the motor and will pass through the pipe H to theburner lube G and thus furnish the same with a supply of air underpressure in order to afford a forced draft, so as to constitute apressure burner in cases where there is a low pressure of gas. Thecasing for the combined water meter and air blower has ports to allowwater to fall. at one side thereof and from the said blades, and alsoorifices it totlllow air to rise at the other side thereof from the saidblades.

I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to theexact details of construction shown and described, for obviousmodifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
